But I figure there are many techies here who might be able to answer this.

I have a small deck down from my back door where we spend a lot of time. I'd
like to put a handset from my wireless phone system permanently out there during
the nice months. I've been looking for weatherproof phone enclosures but the
ones I find go for hundreds of dollars. Does anyone know where I can find an
enclosure, heavy duty plastic would be fine, to mount to a deck post and leave
my phone there in it's charger, which of course would be plugged into an outlet
I have out there. Thanks.

PS: I know I can just bring the handset out with me, but we don't always
remember and we'll be sitting out there listening to the phone ring in the
house.

Orbit has an Outdoor Sprinkler Timer enclosure (for indoor timers) about $35
It has a GFCI inside for a transformer/charger and a mounting plate that
looks to be removable

Height may be a problem

Thanks. Actually, I just looked at that, and it just might work. I'd have to gut
it, I don't need the GFI, just need to be able to run maybe an extension cord
into it. And the height looks alright. And if it doesn't work, Amazon will take
anything back! Thanks again.
